Course, it always takes a '' bit of luck because the thing go so well. " ELENA Fanchini: "I could ski better in the first part of the track. Felt that I could not give up completely on skis instead as I did in the final part.'m Glad, I never thought of arriving in America and on the podium twice in two games. I got the Olympic qualification and this has given me great confidence in myself, even though I felt nervous and agitated this morning because I felt that I could get a good result. Instead the track things are going well, it's nice when you can ski in the way that you like. Lake Louise is a magical place for me and for my sister Nadia. Riesch was superior to the competition, I was hoping to get second because I would climb at the top of descent, patience.'ll be a further incentive for downhill on Saturday, I just stay calm and focused, without thinking about what I have done in these last days. Cold? I put a heating pad under the suit, but the real problem was the throat . Anyway this is very cool if ... then get these results. " Lindsey Vonn: "'' It's nice to be back again in the World Cup. I was nervous at the start, not competed for over ten months and maybe I had too much respect for this track.'' But there will be other down, I hope to be at least a little faster''. To regain all the confidence I had, it will still take a bit of time'' ". TWITTER: @ gianmilan76; @ newswintersport.
